The two professors discuss how government works, going head to head on such topics as "good" public administration, Congress, big business, and everyone's bugaboo, bureaucratic dysfunction. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I no longer recall where or why this title was recommended to me. I was expecting a nonfiction audiobook, and then was surprised to find it was actually a series of lectures by two college professors. (Although loosely, I suppose you could consider this a book.) The pair talk about a number of topics related to government, pointing out that political science, public policy, administration, and history all have important roles to play in how government functions.
There was a lot of information contained with this 'book,' using real-life -- and sometimes current -- examples. it really did have some interesting food for thought, and I found that both professors (representing two different personal political opinions) made valid points. However, I felt like it was a little disjointed in terms of structure; one moment we're talking about the Iraq war, then Tammany Hall, and suddenly over to Hurricane Katrina. Overall, I would recommend if you want a little more detailed insight into government functions, but this shouldn't be your first (or only) stop. ( )
